Develop the critical and creative skills to 'translate' a story
from page to screen with this step-by-step guide to the process of
screen adaptation you'll learn to: - interrogate a novel or short
story to release its 'inner film' - convert fictional prose into
visual drama - overcome the obstacles presented by different media
'languages' - approach key strategic decisions - both technical and
interpretive - draft and re-draft your plot, characters and
dialogue - professionally format and submit your finished script In
addition to examples taken from 'literary classics', contemporary
novels, genre fiction, short stories, and biographical material,
Marland and Edgar embrace the wider phenomenon of re-telling and
updating existing stories, such as the 'appropriation' of popular
figures, inter-film adaptation (sequels and 'reboots'), and
development into other visual forms including graphic fiction and
video games. Whether you are producing a faithful adaptation of
Tolstoy's War and Peace, or planning to pair up the crime-fighting
duo of Sherlock Holmes and Batman, Adaptation for Screenwriters
will be your guide.
